Broken publish step on CI

Summary:
Every `job` is run in a separate container and so, `checkout` step is required for the Git host to be added to `~/.ssh/known_hosts`. Without this step, it will timeout after 10 minutes waiting for you to add (yes) or reject (no) from known hosts (we get this prompt when we checkout from a host for the very first time).
Closes facebook#17956
